Female fans normally know more facts about what’s going on than men do anyway. I’d say they’re a more intelligent fan on top of that. They normally know more about what we’ve done than we know about what we’ve done. --- Tony Stewart

There are female fans who take apart engines and will take you apart if you have a problem with that; who are drawn to the danger and mystery of the sport; who watch races on TV to witness pure passion and unscripted emotion; who love the camaraderie of these family-friendly festivals; who feel the nervous anxiety of the lip-biting wives atop the pit boxes. --- Andrew Giangola “The Weekend Starts on Wednesday”

The Likely Suspects: I've always liked racing at Texas mainly because there is a predictable group of elite drivers. Put these Texas greats on your roster and you will score big: Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr.

My 2 Cents: Matt Kenseth is the king of the no-brainer pick for Texas. Jimmie Johnson is also a good pick but I am benching him this week. I will round out my team with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr., Trevor Bayne and Kyle Larson. In the normal year, Greg Biffle would also be a good pick, but his lack of consistency makes him too risky for my team.
